boot pxe uefi
bonjour,
J'ai réussi à faire booter mes postes clients en pxe sur acronis true image 2017. Les postes sont en bios legacy.
Mais impossible de faire de même avec les postes en UEFI...
Mon serveur pxe est un fedora avec ipxe, j'ai configuré le serveur avec les fichiers dat2.dat, dat3.dat et dat4.dat.
En uefi, j'ai donc une erreur "could not boot image"
Merci d'avance pour votre aide!

hello, I haven't problem with the boot uefi.
My others softwares work differently in bios legacy or uefi.
Thanks in advance!

I am only able to suggest that you take a look at forum topic: PXE Boot Possible? - where issues around PXE have been discussed previously. I have not seen any new posts on this subject for over a year now.

I have already read this topic but they don't talk about uefi, so I guess they only work in bios legacy.
Has someone already set up acronis in boot pxe uefi and could help me?
Thanks!

See webpage: iPXE installation and EFI and webpage: Configuring PXE Boot Servers for UEFI

I think my ipxe configuration is good because my other software works in legacy or uefi. Here is my ipxe script for acronis that works well in legacy: kernel dat2.dat initrd dat3.dat initrd dat4.dat imgargs dat2.dat quiet dev=/root/ram0 vga=791
Thanks!

Maxime, sorry but I have never used ipxe and do not run any PXE servers myself / don't have any Fedora systems, so cannot help you further other than by suggesting webpages with information that may be helpful.

Perhaps try downloading and installing a trial version of Acronis Snap Deploy 5. It has a default and embedded PXE boot agent and I have been able to PXE boot UEFI with it. This doesn't help with deploying Acronis True Image from PXE directly, but might be a stepping stone to doing so.
Over in the Snap Deploy forum, another common issue with PXE and Acronis Snap Deploy 5 is the default linux environment. It seems some of the newer Intel NIC's are not natively supported. They can talk at PXEboot, but once the Linux environment of Acronis (busybox) is initalized, the network drivers are not there.
The work-a-round is to use WinPE (build with Windows 10 1809 ADK) for the rescue media image and seems to be working well for many in those threads.
